ED­I­TOR-IN-CHIEF

Our res­i­dent guru on all things in­te­rior de­sign here at Stel­lar, Neale Whi­taker, be­gins his col­umn this week by ad­mit­ting to a vendetta against the word “eclec­tic”. I’m not sure what Neale’s views on the word “enig­matic” hap­pen to be, but it’s the most apt de­scrip­tion of to­day’s cover star, Lee Lin Chin. Hav­ing be­come a pop-cul­ture icon in re­cent years, fas­ci­na­tion in the for­mer SBS news pre­sen­ter has only es­ca­lated since she quit her day job three months ago. De­spite her sta­tus as a so­cial me­dia sen­sa­tion and fash­ion icon, Chin is not an easy woman to pin down. In an era of chronic over­shar­ing, she re­mains staunchly, well, enig­matic. And when it comes to her style, pos­si­bly a lit­tle eclec­tic too. (Sorry, Neale!)
